Week 36 {365} Savoring the last moments...

Here in the heartland of Iowa we have been enjoying breathtaking, beautiful days. Temps in the 70s. Doesn't get much better than this.

So, we are savoring the last moments of summer...

ripsticking

fishing

(He caught several sunfish and bluegills. He also caught something else, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out what it was...)

enjoying nights at the lake

eating up the popsicles

powerwashing the house

rollerblading

enjoying soccer tournies

(The opposing team picked one player to give the sportsmanship pin to and they picked little man. He was stoked.)

and deep cleaning before we start hibernation.

Look carefully. You might even be able to see the carpet.

I was feeling a twinge of sadness (as I sifted through photos) thinking about bidding farewellto summer,

but I have enjoyed the anticipation of fall as we gear up for the cooler temps. We are settling into our new schedules and routines nicely. We managed to weed and prune all the bushes this week. And I even pulled out my fall seasonal totes. (Pics to come soon.)

So, overall a great week. What have you been up to? Are you having smiley moments?

I will miss summer too, but I am really ready for the fall! We have just been hanging out around the house the past few days. In a week and a half we are headed out for a road trip to Colorado. So we are just relaxing and enjoying home for now and preparing for the trip! I hope you are having a great weekend. I can't wait to see what else he caught!

So many great memories and smiles captured! Love it! Right now I'm taking full advantage of being outside with the beautiful weather. After the heat of the summer the weather we're having now truly makes me smile.

Beautiful photo´s! Hey your daughter loves Ikea, too. My daughter has the same chair!;D Oh how I whish the summer would stay much longer, too. Over here it´s already rainy and kind of cold. I think my husband and I will move to Mallorca when we are old. We just don´t like the cold weather.I hope you have a wonderful day!Hug´s,Verena
